A company is expanding its building area from 19,000 square feet to 24,320 square feet. What is the percentage increase of the building space

its 29!

Step-by-step explanation:

i know because i had this study island question!

it is 29 NOT 28

Let's make an equation.

19,000x=24,320

This equation shows the percentage increase, which is x. Once we have x, we need to subtract 1 from it since in the equation the 1 shows that it's increeasing. All we need to do is divide both sides by 19,000.

24,320:19,000

1,28-1=0.28; we need to multiply by 100 to find the increase.

0.28*100=28

So, the percentage increase is 28%.
